life in china dear friends wish you could see me just now in a littlo outoftheway place way up in tho hills and sitting at the square table used for meals surrounded by chinese old and young wondering what this 13 all about it is a little hard to keep in mind that they cannot read nor understand this it isnt quite time for ray monthly report but it will he soon and so while i am in the thick ot it like this i thought i would hesin an other cause ot tho curiosity ot the crowd is the fact that it is evening and the optimus kerosene pressure- lamp is on and they have never seen anything so strange before and as a matter ot tact they have never seen anything so strange as a foreigner before it is quite strange to think that mr rowe and i are the first foreigners ever to come here but there are some christians here too which is the great thing if you could have seen us thi3 afternoon the school kids just mobbed us and so we began singing a chorus which they were anxious to learn they took us oft to the school next door and there gathered about co odd children and women and we sang teaching them the chor us and singing the hymn we are a great trio mr rowe tho evangelist mr chen and my self none ot us can sing and we havent anything in the line of a musical instrument perhaps the evangelist is the worst he oint even keep a tune i usually have to start and lead the singing and you know how 1 sing this is the 25th now and what a grand meeting we had last night there must have been over 200 sph ered mr rowe spoke first then i followed and then the evangelist spoke tor about an hour or so any way we were not though until 1130 then to bed and what was bed well they put two benches and two boards or doors on top and we spread out our blankets one blanket below and one above with sheets and ybur mosquito net hung from anything convenient hard yes but we prefer that to some of their beds as there is less company sometimes one is able to get some fresh straw and then it is quite soft you just have to be hardened to the staring at you getting to ued and getting up up by coo and then tea and dainty cakes etc shaving was something very strange to them and there must have been about 15 or more onlookers well i dont want to shock you too much with tho description of everthing but my it is wonderful and i wouldnt be anyyhere else foruiy- thing i mean anyyhere in china because i know this is his will for me just now christians here believe and that is about all mr rowe is now explain ing something of the gospel truths to some women the men are out in the fields working we are just on the run on thi3 trip to a different place each night wo left on friday at noon and had a 40 li 13 miles walk and land ed in time for supper there are a number of good christians there and my how they were glad to see us they just couldnt do enough and we all spoke or rather i spoke next morning with mr chen just to tho christians somo at homo wonder how we start in speaking to peoplo who know nothing of the gospel at all well i am just learning myself and it is great to hear one of the chlncso speak to them because they know their sayings etc everybody believes in a tienlaola who is sort of the heavenly magistrate whom they believe controls rain and sun etc hut they dont know how to worship him they only know to cur- so and beseech him if thero is no rain or if there is too much they also fear a place of suffering and so you can speak to them ot lha only way to escape the latter and obtain fuh or happiness for which they are all seeking the way being gray icoach v lines

see the paper is being filled too rapidly and i can not possibly cover the trip so will just touch on one or more points of interest one day it came on a torrent of rain and we had 35 11 3 11 to 1 mile to go to the next place asd wo were a sight smeone at tb c saw a picture of dad in chitns millions with what looked like a tremendous umbrella and remarked on its size well believe me it is such circumstances as the above that you are glad ot one like that as it is so hot to carry an oilcoat what was the reward a very hearty welcome by the keen christians in the place and a good change and then a good meeting- what better no it is not all smooth going it would be unfair to leave only that picture with you we came to the village where tho preaching bind are now at work and found things very strained indeed they had been there two weeks but were un able to hold any public meetings in tho evenings because ot the threats of somo ot tho leaders of the school we had seen and obtained permiss ion from the head of the village to carry on and so we had a meeting that night and i can tell you it was a strange experience near tho end a group of ruffians came stalking in and we prayed hard while the evangelist just went on speaking they meant mischief you could see but god heard and they went out in about five minutes without doing a thing and in that place in spite ot the opposition there are people accepting christ as saviour every day as the preach ing band go from door to door thirty or more have believed in the last month or so that night i read ps 138 and al though wo did not sleep until after 300 am wondering what all the coming and tsoing and shouting etc outside might mean yet tho lord gave his own peace and on leaving at coo next morning one realized the truth of the words of verse 7 how much more one could tell for it was quite a new experience but time and space will not allow and so i must stop do please pray for these outstatious your with

call to bloses occurred near mount s nai or mount hor- cb on the peninsula of sinai when moses went back to egypt he went hack to the court which he had fled fiom forty years before which was probably at the city of tanls tittfe bc 1453 and moses said unto god behold when i come unto the children of is rael and shall say unto them the god of your fathers hath sent me unto you and they shall say to me what is his name what shall 1 say unto them the names of god ex press gods character gods pur poses to know the full meaning of tho names of goj is to know the character of god what moses now wanted most of all was such a revela tion of god vouchsafed to him in one of gods great names that the hebrew people would know for cer tainty that moses was gods true messenger in this momentous crisis and god said unto moses i am that i am and he said thus shalt thou say unto the children of israel i am hath sent me unto you this name of course reveals god as an individual a person ths person is selfexistent ie has life his life does not depend upon someone else he is independent of all external forces and of all other beings in the world and god said moreover unto moses thus shalt thou say unto the children of israel jehovah the name jehovah means the selfexist ent one literally he that is who he is and thus we have in this name the full revelation of what god had just told moses that he was the i am the word jehovah occurs hun dreds of times in the old testa ment and is not found here for the first time the fust reference is in gen 2 4 the god of your fathers the god of abraham the god of is- sac and the god of jacob hath sent me unto you here the god about to deliver israel the god moses is to follow the god whom tho israel ites are to trust is not some new deity like one of the many gods of pagan egypt but the eternal god of their fathers who truly led them in ages gone by who revealed his power his wisdom and his love to them who had made promises to them which were now to be fulfilled this is my name for ever and this is my memorial unto all gener ations this statement contains a very important truth a truth which many professing christians seem to fcrget namely that gods relation ship with israel is an eternal one he is just as much israels god now as when he visited them in the land of egypt moreover he is just as posi tively dealing with them now as then enly in a different way go and gather the elders of is rael together and say unto them je hovah the god of your fathers the tod of abraham of isaac and of jacob hath appeared unto me say ing i have surely visited you and seen that which is done to you in egypt the elders of israel were the older and leading men of the different families among the hebrew people we should notice through out this declaration by god of his purpose for israel that everything is to be done logically and in order moses is not to appeal to the mob nor yet to confront pharaoh without authority to speak for them nor is he to make the great demand for emancipation abruptly and at once the mistake of forty years ago must not be repeated now 410 and moses said unto jeho vah oh lord 1 am not eloquent neither heretofore nor since thou hast spoken unto thy servant for i am slow of speech and of a slow tongue it may be that moses had a natural hesitancy of speech it may be that he had lost a lluency of speech which once he had by long years of semisolitude tending sheep in midian it may also be that moses was exaggerating his own shortcom ings that he thought an eloquence was needed for the task greater than the task really called for without god no amount of human eloquence would have availed with god the merest stammerer would nave proved an efficient minister 11 and jehovah said unto him who hath made mans mouth or who maketh a man dumb or deaf or seeing or blind is it not i jeho vah 12 now therefore go and 1 will be with thy mouth and teach thee what thou shalt speak god never sends any servant of his on any errand unless at the same time he fully equips him for the accom plishment of tho task which he has given into his hands for doing if it were words that moses needed when the hour came for him to stand he- fore pharaoh those words god would certainly give him what a wonder ful comfort to sundayschool teach ers leaders of missions workers in the hospital all who feel that god has placed a certain task upon their hearts to know that the god who sends is also the god who will ade quately and assuredly equip 13 and he said oh lord send i pray thee by the hand of him whom thou wilt send moses assents but unwillingly and ambiguously 14 and the anger of jehovah was kindled against moses only once again in the long life of moses do we havo recorded the fact that god was angry with his prophet at the waters of mcribah wheipmoscs arrogantly manifested an undue assumption of power num 20 1913 deut 137 and he said is there not aaron thy brother the levitc 1 know that he can speak well and also behold he cometh forth to meet thee and when he sceth thee he will be glad in his heart as moses equally with aaron belonged to the tiioe of levi ex 21 the term as applied to aaron must denote not ancestry but profession it was the official title of one who had received the train ing of a priest whose duty it was to give oral directon to the people bonce some power of
